Description

David Nasser narrowly escaped Iran in 1979 after the revolution. He saw "religion gone wrong" and decided that he hated God. You'll have to listen to what happened next, but it's one of the most glorious testimonies we've heard in a long time. David knows only too well that this is a critical moment for the underground church in Iran. We discuss his story, what's happening in Iran with the church, how we can help, and the biggest lessons on family that he took from the Middle East (compared to our western obsession with hyper-individualism). On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:15 Escaping Iran 5:14 The Gospel for Shiite Muslims 9:29 The Iranian Church 18:16 Family In The Middle East 28:07 How to Understand The Idea of Honor Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Revival Iran: https://revivaliran.com/ Website: https://davidnasser.com/ --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!
